August 29, 2016

Congresswoman Betty McCollum (DFL-Minn.) joined National Park Service representatives and a large group of fairgoers celebrating the National Park Service's 100th birthday on National Park Service Centennial Day at the Minnesota State Fair on Aug. 29.

"I enjoyed spending a beautiful day at our Great Minnesota Get-Together celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service," Congresswoman McCollum said. "This event is a great way to build awareness of the amazing National Parks that Minnesotans can enjoy."

Hosted jointly by Minnesota's five National Park Service units and organized by the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, National Park Service Centennial Day at the Fair was designed for kids of all ages with activity stations that encouraged fairgoers to "Find Your Park."
